Gus appreciated Winnie checking on the children; having them was never in the cards for him, at least not until Sophia came along. It helped that he was the godfather to both of them, and well… no one had questioned where the baby had come from, and at this point he doubted anyone would. As far as anyone was concerned, Cillian was his. What a messy situation. He was making it work as well as he possibly could.

He closed his eyes briefly before he turned toward Winnie, a small smile on his lips. “Thanks, I’d appreciate that.” It was nice to have someone to check on them, although he was considering a move back to Hogsmeade this summer. Gus loved living in Ireland, loved the freedom and being so close to the beach away from so many people, but Sophia’s memories lingered there, and it would be easier for everyone if he didn’t stay in the castle. That was a decision for later, though. He nodded at her thanks.

”Well,” He mused, taking a quick look around, “We could be logical and start at the beginning, but I think that sounds interesting.” Gus tipped his head toward one of the signs near the back - Chocolate Wheel of Fate!! It looked more like a carnival game than something that should be at a chocolate expo, although Gus was interested to see what kind of chocolate sample he might land on – he had missed out on the change candies someone was selling in Hogsmeade earlier (not that he wanted to be unknowingly experimented on), so it only felt fair to try his luck at something a little more sanctioned.
